CBO presentation on 'prospects for DOD's budget over the next decade'

On May 3, 2016, Matthew Goldberg, deputy assistant Director for the Congressional Budget Office's National Security Division, gave a presentation to the Manpower Roundtable, warned that "if the Congress rejects certain cost-saving proposals of the administration that it has not accepted in the past, and if costs for weapon systems continue to rise as they have in the past, funding required to implement the administration's plans for the Department of Defense would exceed the funding caps set by the Budget Control Act of 2011 by $162 billion (in 2016 dollars) over the 2017-2020 period."
